I can't find the "Hodl!!!" option in the poll 
Noobs ARE the ones, whose behaviour can be analysed and predicted with TA.
HTF makes markets more volatile but that's not bad. More trading = more "quick" liquidity

Several European countries have proposed curtailing or banning HFT due to concerns about volatility.
The effects of algorithmic and high-frequency trading are the subject of ongoing research. Regulators claim these practices contributed to volatility in the May 6, 2010 Flash Crash and find that risk controls are much less stringent for faster trades.

Or smaller margins for hand job trading
Or getting front run by bots targeting manual traders You just have to adjust as an amateur trader and don't put your orders up for the bots to steal!!

Nope, the more noobs you have and less pro-traders the charts resemble traditional TA less and less. Just compare the early days bitcoin chart to the current one.

It would make technical analysis easier, as the chart resemble traditional TA more, and less noobish spikes up and down.

High-frequency trading (HFT) is a type of algorithmic trading, specifically the use of sophisticated technological tools and computer algorithms to rapidly trade securities. HFT uses proprietary trading strategies carried out by computers to move in and out of positions in seconds or fractions of a second.[5] Firms focused on HFT rely on advanced computer systems, the processing speed of their trades and their access to the market.[6]
As of 2009, studies suggested HFT firms accounted for 60-73% of all US equity trading volume, with that number falling to approximately 50% in 2012.

Combined with Lawsky's statement from yesterday, suggests Wall Street is coming to us. Not sure if good or bad. What do you think?
